Rome 2 : Total War

The forthcoming patches sound epic!

Personally, I'm really looking forward to the attack mechanic of a 'forced march' army leading into an ambush battle. It makes forced marches more risky to use and makes thematic sense.

Epic? EPIC? These things they are so graciously giving us via patches are things that are bare bones essentials that should have been in from release! It is not epic, it is about bloody time!
 
I've decided to hold off playing for at least a month. Hopefully by then the bulk of the fixes should be in place and mods will have matured. At the moment mods are changing on a daily basis and trying to keep up is detracting from actual play time. I also keep starting new campaigns to try out other mods :p
 
Essentially what im doing, just gonna leave the game alone for a long time. Probably wont bother with it till next year. Especially with the other steam games I got and also a PS4 on preorder:D

Just read the Radious mod notes. As far as I can see, that fixes every niggle I have with the game - just amazes me how much work he has done on this in comparison to CA to address fundamental game changes.

Looking forward to firing it up later (if I don't get GTAV in the post..)

I said this for ages since before release of the game. Every issue in the game will be fixed by mods as per Rome1 and all other Total War games.

If you've played any of Radious's mods in the past he's only just scratched the surface so far!
 
Well I still get de-syncs in every multiplayer online game (and even in local co-op occasionally!) within a couple of minutes making the game unplayable online and the reason I bought it.

Am using the Radious mod anyway but not sure a mod can fix that.

It can't as the multiplayer as a whole is broken as per release day. Lets hope its addressed in the next few patches

Well I'm not sure why that is because the MP now has a desync catch that re-syncs the mp campaign and corrects the issue. Bit of a bonus for me and my mate as like you we got the game for mp campaign. Seems to have fixed our issues and we are enjoying the game a lot more (although it still takes some time for the AI to compete turns, albeit a lot less).
 
I'm going to drop it for a month and play GTAV until the fixes filter through. Will pick it up again when I buy a new GPU set up and see how it plays then. Enjoying it, but would rather enjoy a better game than spoil it and fumble through with the niggles
 
I am amazed that it is possible to buy it at that price so early in the games release, considering what it costs elsewhere.

I suppose it depends how important the game is for you to buy now and play during its development..? I rarely consider any TW or CIV game "complete" until several patches and expansions etc have been released.
Bugs or not I'm enjoying playing the game, overall.
 
This is the first TW game I haven't enjoyed because of the gameplay and the many off putting bugs. Which is a shame because its my favourite era.
Cant believe im gonna say this but I think Empire is better than this, even though I have no interest in the time period.
 
^^^^ But are you comparing it Empire at first release or as it is now, and perhaps with a mod or two...?

When I first open TW Rome II and look at the map of Europe I go "Wow". When I do the same with Shogun II and its two expansions I go "???".

So I suppose, after loving the original RTW, I am a little biased in preferring both the era and theatre of war of the Rome games.

I am eagerly awaiting patch 3, and the rest.!
 
I know empire was a buggy mess, maybe more so than Rome 2. Which by the way I haven't had really any issues with.
Empire with darthmod is very good but I still lose interest cause of the time period.

Rome 2 ill wait till next year when its been heavily patched and radious has done a lot more modding too it.

Empire isn't my time period at all, but with Darth it's a far better game than this right now.

What we were shown as a game was a total con. The game looks nothing like the vids, and I don't care what system you have.

Until it looks like that, it's a con as far as I am concerned.
